One, Two, Three in a Row

Friday, Saturday and Sunday turned out to be the third, fourth, and fifth day of spring this year.  We didn't do anything too big or exciting, just enjoyed the simple pleasures of a few days off with some sunshine.  On Saturday, I was able to convince Wyatt that the annual spring trek up the Butte was in order. 
It was a hard sell considering Gus was occupied at a school chess tournament and his usual Boy Scout hiking buddy was working at a pancake breakfast. These days hanging out with Mom isn't topping the list of what a 14 year old wants to do.  Going out for a Subway sandwich afterward ended up cinching the deal. 
Later in the evening, Bryant and I enjoyed a fire in the backyard.  If you turn your body in the right direction and block out the neighbor's house, cars, and junk, it is almost like you're camping, only better because you sleep in your own bed.
